Gentle dental care for kids
We watch your child’s teeth grow from the first tooth on, build good habits with you at home, and keep every visit calm and comfortable.
Care for growing smiles
First visits
Bring your child in by their first birthday or when the first tooth appears, whichever comes first.
Cleanings and fluoride
We clean hard-to-reach spots, polish, and apply fluoride when it will help prevent decay.
Sealants
A thin protective coating on the back molars keeps food and bacteria out of deep grooves.
Fillings and extractions
We handle fillings, extractions, and other children’s procedures right here in our office.
Dr. Chris Godfrey, DMDHygienist since 2005, dentist since 2016
One office for the whole family
Parents and kids can be seen at the same practice, by a team that knows your family. We are experienced with anxious children and toddlers, and we explain everything so both you and your child know what to expect.
Dr. Godfrey volunteers each year providing dental care to children in orphanages in Mexico. Caring for kids is part of why he became a dentist.
